RoundRobin: AndroidCentral's Casey Chan Goes BOLD!

on 9 Dec 2008 05:22 PM

[ This is an official Smartphone Round Robin post! Every day you reply to an official Round Robin blog post or forum thread on CrackBerry.com, you automatically gain an entry ballot for a chance to win a BlackBerry Bold, Spare Bold Battery, and Case Mate Second Skin! ]

I had Casey's T-Mobile G1 last week and this week he's using my BlackBerry Bold. On the first Smartphone Round Robin Roundtable Podcast Casey voiced a bit of skepticism that the Bold's display would be as impressive as everyone was making it out to be. But once he finally got his hands on the device... well... you'll just have to click on over to Android Central to hear for yourself what he had to say!

You can leave a comment here for your chance to win a Bold or better yet, you can also drop Casey a comment for your chance to win a T-Mobile G1 (spread those odds out!). Keep in mind, if you win the G1 you could probably sell it/trade it in for a new BlackBerry :-)

I second this!

I could use an unlocked Bold as it seems the 8830 I use now will never have an upgraded OS that would help my business run better.

Posted by maxcarter Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

A free bold , yeah

Posted by Doug H. Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

The Round Robin is such a great idea. Be nice to win a Bold :)

Posted by Paminablue Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

I'm a longtime treo user, but I am mighty impressed by the screen on the Bold. Someday I hope phones will become like PCs, where you can sort of build your own depending on what features you want. In the meantime, thank goodness for these round robins to help us decide!

i like the bold, but i cant wait for the curve 8900 to come to the US..

I just got my storm about two weeks ago and im totally in love with it. Its amazing. I totally get why people call them crackberry's. I'm sure the Bold is amazing too, but I'm happy with my storm =)

Posted by lcfut Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

win a Bold
trade it for a Javelin

Posted by trpdnabx Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

Nothing compares to the Bold screen!!!!

Posted by robrowald Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

If Verizon carried the Bold, I would have gotten it but i had to "settle" for the Storm :)
I really like the bold, a friend of mine has one and it seems like a really good example of how kit should be made

Posted by Nyisles84 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

Looking forward to the Niagra :)

Posted by Dimietriev Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

I do agree with him, the icons do look very similar and could use some differentiation.

Posted by JDMaker1 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

I could use an unlocked Bold. T-Mobile hasn't gotten around to hooking us 8820 owners up with an OS above 4.2. Maybe Crackberry could help me out.

Posted by truantrebellion Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

Frankly I have to say I'm really stoked on the round robin idea you guys have in play. Helps give a bit of a more well-rounded view on what it's like to use a multitude of devices, too bad I don't have a plethora of friends that use fancy phones. ;)

This whole having to choose my carrier based on the devices they support thing is getting old, though.

Posted by JSho101 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

I bet you can't wait to get your Bold back. I couldn't be without a BlackBerry for that long.

Posted by JSho101 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

I bet you can't wait to get your Bold back. I couldn't be without a BlackBerry for that long.

I want one of these so bad!! B-day is coming up in a week, so please please please!! Ha ha.

Posted by jnieves Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

Everyone likes the BOLD. I didn't like it at the beginning but now I really want one.

Posted by aragon7 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

The only thing that can beat the screen of the Bold is another blackberry!

Posted by PhantomS10 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

I like the Bold but as a loyal Verizon user I will have to trade it for a Storm. Either way I get rid of this Treo 700p.

Posted by Aspyred Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

All this talk about the Bold's screen! Dang, I've never seen one in action. Here's hoping I'll be able to win one and report back.

Posted by gvegas864 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

I went to 2 different At&T stores to play with this phone. The screen is like a mini HDTV. If I don't win one I will be buying this phone for Christmas!

Posted by JD_Berry Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

He sure does like the Bold's screen! But why wouldn't he? It is amazing when you watch a good movie or video on it.

I WANT A BB BOLD SOOO BAD

Posted by dkongo31 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

I dont know how he could ever doubt the screen on the Bold

Posted by dstrauss Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

I'll never understand the facination, and preference, for Gmail over any version of BB email. It's one of the biggest reason I'm back to crackberries instead of my iPhone 3g.

Posted by zanon Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

Bold is great!

Posted by UrbanNewz Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

besides the barcode scan feature, the Bold is better hands down. Casey...you already know.

Posted by deacon Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

Sass that hoopy phone.

Posted by schaidshaw02 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

They all cross over in the end:)

Posted by D$ Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

I will take it and love it and sleep with it and give it hugs and kisses...

Posted by TeritaM Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

I'm really not understanding what the big whoop is over touchscreens. Different strokes I guess.

Posted by laurenmac Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

The Bold screen lives up to the hype every time I see it.

Posted by Kronk Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

This is me replying to the post.

Posted by tjk Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

the bold is just too sexy

Posted by tek1231 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

I'm not gonna lie...this is one impressive Blackberry.

Posted by jprintz215 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

this is by far the sickest phone out right now. i am a verizon person and i wish i could get this phone for my network.. i am going to be stuck with the storm... doesn't that sound like a bummer... either way blackberries are the best smartphones and i would take a bold or storm over anyother smartphone any day!

Posted by ChuckH0308 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

The Bold really is a nice device. If it were on Verizon I might have opted for it over the Storm since I'm generally not a huge fan of touchscreen. I do really like the Storm too though, despite having to constantly clean the screen! :)

Posted by st6868 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

Now that I'm on a Blackberry (Storm), I'm very happy with the Blackberry UI. You can keep your android...

Posted by cckeeper2 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

good to see how great the bold really is. i wish i had my hands on one!

Will do

Posted by stepchild Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

OK, I want a bold also. Now I have never won anything so I'm pretty sure in won't here. But, got to try.

Posted by dapoktan Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

Why would I want a g1? I want a BOLD!!

Posted by james kim Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

From my experience with the g1 (and I'm typing on it right now), I have this weird feeling that a bold would knock my socks off and leave my g1 to rot. Or maybe the other way around but it would still be cool to win one!

Posted by ems2857 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

I should prob go into AT&T and check out the screen.. WHY DOESNT VERIZON GET THE GOOD PHONES?!!

Posted by mansurw02 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

I'll take it!

Posted by Benjamin traylor Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

All I have to say when I saw the Bold's resolution is, WOW!! I didn't think that it was possible to fit such a good image into such a small frame. Bravo BlackBerry, Bravo.

Posted by risenONE Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

My beloved Curve just came to its' untimely death.

A Bold would be a perfect replacement.

Please pick me!

Posted by hauser7 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

cooool i want a boldddddd please!

Posted by DawnGP143 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

I'm happy with my Storm, but would take the Bold I win, and give it to the iPhone fanboy that I work with just to convert him!!!!!

Posted by Malfoy Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

I want one. Give me so I don't have to get a storm. I don't want a storm. :(

Posted by mcomben Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

I've been keeping tabs on the round robin all along here and it seems like the other people are really searching to find things to criticize. Obviously I, along with a lot of the people here, am biased towards Blackberry but it seems like the other sites complaints have little foundation to stand on. Bottom line is while the Storm is meant to appeal to the mass Iphone crowd, the Bold is the flagship BB and sets the benchmark for all smart phones to strive for. The brilliant screen, the physical keyboard and the rollerball are used because they work and are proven. While the OS took me a bit to get used to, I can't imagine using anything else now that I have it. The e-mail features, the applications, and the functions on the BB OS are the way things should be.

Posted by PittsDriver Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

I love the Bold!

Posted by wmp.dll Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

Nice. I would like to win the bold.

Posted by veldacy1 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

Glad to see they added the speedracer sample at the end as well.. that was the one that blew me away..

Posted by tnewton3 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

The Bold is a sick device and winning one would be even better.

Posted by blackberry_obsession Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

I have to agree.. the best blackberry ever!!

Posted by tiger3p Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

Posted by rimbuk Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

the only thing that would stop me from using the bold is AT&T... maybe. I love that thing.

I love watching these video's of the bold
its fun see what people think

Posted by Bla1ze Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

hate to say it Casey but umm...they all told ya you;d love the screen lmao!! Nice review man, I knew as soon as I listed to the podcast you'd be quickly pulling back on any skepticism.

Posted by chakejaam Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

hmm itll look way more cooler with an atomic track ball!

Posted by AndyN Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

I have one and Love it!!!

Posted by MangoGT Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1262 days ago

I think everyone that comments should get a Bold.

(But mainly just me)

Posted by dagda1 Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

Still love that Bold.

Posted by CaliBBAddict Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

I am addicted, I want one of every new blackberry... too bad the Storm is on the wrong network.

Posted by gibsonhtp Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

for a bold.

Nice review by the way. How could he not like the Bold.

Posted by joelwag Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

I wont be surprised if we get some new crackberry addicts out of the fellow round robiners

Posted by mkottman23 Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

I'd love to trade in a G1 for a Bold :D

Posted by angiebutterfly Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

I like his review a lot. I didn't feel like he was being completely biased and had decent reasons for why he didn't really like something. He also really complimented the Bold with what he did like. He did a good job.

I loved how much he flipped out over the bright screen. Lmao. It is beautiful to behold, and I love that he doesn't hold back on that. :D

I can see why he thinks BlackBerry isn't as "open" as most phones. It certainly is a transition. But really, once that transition is made, it's so hard to go back. It just... works. I hope he sees that in his final review.

Posted by blackduck Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

bold goodness...
fascinating how everybody raves about that screen.
its really something, huh?

Posted by problemkind Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

Nice video. I too could use an unlocked Bold.

Posted by Edwarddd Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

Damn right the bold has got the best screen going around!
imagine when he gets his hands on a magnum next year...!

Posted by SqyArc Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

I'm new to the blackberry world and I bloody love the Bold! I can't decide whether to cancel my order for the storm and change it for the bold... aaah!

Posted by 4everag Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

Thank you for the offer to win a Bold... I would greatly appreciate it if I won one...

Posted by SOUJAH345 Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

I always said to myself "that Storm is pretty sexy" and "that G1 is a hot device" but i always thought if i had a choice i'd go with the Bold this review proved it would be a wise choice. it is a beautiful device so smooth and slick i pray one day i can call one my own.

Posted by julikeadobo Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

This may well be the best Blackberry, no, the best smartphone out in the market right now. I need to go play with one. Off to the AT&T store!!!

Btw, round robin is great! I get to hear honest reviews on other phones that I may never own.

I actually have tried out a G1, it is pretty good as far as speed, but the cleff chin form factor is... different. haha.

Posted by SLVR6 Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

Bold for me? Please!!!!!!

Posted by CapnDap Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

of course he fell in love with the bold, it gives the g1 a big "how's ya fava"! anyone seen using a g1 should be arrested and sent to rehab for suckie smartphone addicts.

Posted by Love Love my Curve Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

I've been a long time Palm user, however after my provider had to replace mine three times, I gave in to find out what the whole "Blackberry" craze was. I was very nervous about the change, however after a couple of weeks of getting used to it, I LOVE my curve. I won't ever go back and I can hardly wait to upgrade to either the Bold or Storm, I
haven't decided. Since I just discovered the crackberry website, I am loving reading these postings. Keep them coming!!!

Posted by CapnDap Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

Posted by Sturta Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

I'd love to play with the G1 for a little while, the OS has incredible potential.

Posted by _dave_ Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

I tried the Bold & the Storm on the same day, bouncing between shops in the mall.

At first glance, I thought the Bold's screen was almost the same size until I compared both phones to my Curve.

All I can say is WOW! The screen is SO sharp it looks much bigger than it is.

I kept trying to click the screen also. It would be an interesting thing to have touchscreen on the Bold V2.

Bold wins hands-down over Storm to me.

If I win...the wife will get my Storm and the Blackberry users will expand yet again. I kind of miss a real keyboard and being able to type qwerty in portrait.

Posted by flypaper Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

Come on....ugly G1 vs. sexy Bold? No comparison! The only thing he complained about was that the Bold had no touchscreen! What does that tell you? The Bold is a superior device, hands down!!

Could definitely use one! Crosses fingers.

Posted by PanaSama Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

Seriously i cant beleive he called the trackball inneficient, with the exception of web browsing the trackball is more eficient than a touchscreen, i dont understand how most reviewers fail to see how you can do everything much faster on a blackberry, i mean there is a reason the g1 has a trackball right?

Posted by Lie Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

$300- is a bit steep for the best Berry on the market. Happy Holidays.

Posted by .M.E. Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

shocking .. like everynone else, once you see that screen you are the point of no return ..

Posted by STYLN Wednesday, Dec 10, 2008 1262 days ago

The Bold rocks! But i still cant decide between it and the new 8900!

0o0o! Me wants a Bold even though I looooove my Storm. I could always convert yet another "smartphone" wannabe over to a being a Crackberry addict my sis. :) All my friends that have Iphones laugh at me and my Blackberry love. Whatever.. At least my phone doesn't drop 3G crazy like the Iphone. :)

Posted by bambuco Thursday, Dec 11, 2008 1261 days ago

Seemed like we had a potential crackberry convert after seeing Casey's full review, he really didn't have much to pick at all. I mean the software challenges he mentions are stuff that the dedicated crackberry user/abuser would never have noticed (i.e. icons appearing the "same" when in fact they are quite distinct).

Glad to hear another positive review for RIM's flagshio device!!!

Posted by momto4xys Thursday, Dec 11, 2008 1261 days ago

But after waiting for so long for the Bold to come out, I lost interest & now am waiting for the Javelin (8900).

Posted by tappolon Thursday, Dec 11, 2008 1261 days ago

After reading engadget's most excellent review of the G1 (found here: http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/16/t-mobile-g1-review/) and all of the in depth info I've seen about the BOLD there's absolutely no surprise that Casey is impressed with the BOLD. I understand there's a lot to complain about with the G1 and as cool as a google phone is, it's just not worth it to lose all my BB functionality. I'm still happy rockin my t-mobile pearl 8100 from june 07 than to upgrade to a whole other can of worms with the G1. I'll wait until they get some of the glaring drawbacks worked out to even try an android device. I would sooner spring for the new pearl flip than the G1. My options are still way too limited with t-mobile right now. Where's my BOLD or STORM t-mobile and RIM?

Posted by dapoktan Thursday, Dec 11, 2008 1261 days ago

my friend moved from the curve to the g1.. he likes it.. but misses the bbmsger.. as do I.. I have moved from the 8700 to the iphone.. (its RIMs fault for delaying the Bold so much)

now time for this Bold to be mine..

I will have one of these in january. Gonna break my Tmobile contract to get it too.

Same thing ive been saying for weeks though... A Bold with a touchscreen would be AMAZING!

Get on it RIM.

The Bold is defensibly the better BB Phone out there!!

Poor Casey really wanted that touch screen. Me? I wouldn't want to get fingerprints on that beautiful screen!

They just officially released OS 4.5 which might I add is the latest build available but not for the 8310. Uhhhh am I the only who's scratching my head wondering why they decided to release it for the 8320 on AT&T instead of the 8310 which majority BB users on AT&T with Curves have the 8310. Yeah, that's just sad. Thus, that just makes me want to get the BOLD even more. BOLD here I come!
